Flowtoys 2019 Juggler Profiles
I can't help but think that this video has helped others who sometimes feel they are alone in their struggles. Sometimes people just need a hero like yourself to encourage them. Stay Strong.
That's lovely. Juggling helps myself
You can get better, no matter how much you suck. Amazing comment and it definitely resonates with me
Are you kidding , she sucks ???😱
She is so cool.
And cool people are 1000 times better than hot ones.
@@MrAmulyamishra was that a backhanded insult?
@@duustincrawford2945 not a good one, anyway. She's hot.
@@MrAmulyamishra what?
I don't know if you are going to read this... But you are so inspiring.. I liked your attitude, struggle, and how you overcome it... Will it be possible to be your friend? 😊
You're one of my favourite jugglers in the world! Thank you for everything you do!
This was honestly the most inspiring video I have seen in my life. I don’t really watch motivational videos because they don’t have any influence towards my struggles or my experiences. But your story about sparring with depression hits the heart as I struggled with that for years. Even now, there are points in my life where I feel like I’m at my lowest.
But the most beautiful part about this story was that your passion and love for juggling kept you going! You found happiness with what you love to do, even when life hits you hard.
You are the most passionate and positive person I know Taylor! Keep killing it, keep pursuing the passion, and remember, no matter if it’s one person who views your material or a Million, it’s ultimately your happiness in showcasing that love that is most important! ❤️
I have no doubt this video has helped may people in their personal life and juggling. Inspirational.
I can relate 100%. Playing jazz/blues piano and harmonicas also helps. Some wounds resist healing, so music and juggling have been my helpers for decades now. I really appreciate your efforts here. thank you for everything. Peace. 😊
I started juggling at 14, and I have no friends either. I'm about to turn 17 this december. I was diagnosed with severe ptsd and depression. My father mentally and verbally abused me until I was 7. So I understand the joy that juggling can bring.
Thanks to daily dose of internet, that's how I found your channel. You're the best!
Nice video.
You motivate me to practice juggling again.. :)
Taylor tries, cries but always rise (:
Being brave enough to even post this video is why you are absolutely amazing. To be honest I started juggling with balls a few years ago, and stopped for a long time.and found some of your videos when I was surfing the web and depressed, they made me want to juggle again, now if those clubs would just work with me instead of hitting me in the face....but seriously you are an absolutely amazing human being, keep being you.
You're amazing juggler and video creator. and thank you for this.
My story is same madam..... I was in deep mental depression for last few months.... But after seeing your videos I started Juggling 1 month ago....... And now I really enjoying my life by practicing juggling everyday.....
You are the best I have a depressive disorder medical condition a medical professional got me into juggling and it changed my life so much better so happy for you❤️
I started juggling half a year ago when I was 37, just to see if I could make it. And yes, seeing all the small changes over time is amazing, it really helps with depression to push yourself until it finally works. At the beginning I didn't believe I could do it, but in small steps it gets better and better, it's a fascinating progress until it finally works.
And also yes, seeing amazing juggler like you is just as inspiring as frightening, I probably will never be as good as you are 😀
How are you doing on your juggling and life right now? I started in March, and it has helped me a lot. I hope you feel the same, and much love to you and your family!!
Awesome video! Reminds me of when I joined the juggling club at university when I was a student. Someone wrote "SAD" on the club noticeboard in large letters. Someone else added to this so it then read: "SADness is alleviated by juggling". I've never forgotten seeing that, and that was in 1993! (camera phones weren't a thing then otherwise I would have taken a photo of it for posterity)
Keep posting the marvellous videos!
hello you are one of my favorite jugglers, since I saw your videos I wanted to juggle again. My depression went away when I gave myself to Christ, may God bless you
Hey, I can just join others in saying that your videos are both very useful and fun. You make my 8 year old daughter laugh every time and she watches your videos a lot :). She learnt with you 3 ball cascade in few weeks.
I juggled today! That is it! I Flow daily because it just gives meaning to my day. No matter how i feel any particular day i can learn something new.
That’s how I feel because of pain and juggling helps me feel better.
Out come the clubs and beanballs. Thanks! You rock!
My daughter just started juffling. we LOVE your videos!
Finding a focal point to balance your inner peace is a huge hurdle. To have achieved this at a younger age is awesome. We all have the cyclic ups and downs in life, so knowing what can generate that spark of happiness within yourself is key to eternal balance for this iteration of your life cycle.
you're a great juggler taylor and an ever better human being, bless you and thankyou for teaching me how to juggle.
interestingly, when I watch you juggling I forget how many hours you must spend practising and then beat myself up because I am not even 1% as good as you! However, you keep me inspired. Keep it up.
I had once that problem of comparing my self to other mates in my art: magic; I was very crumbled with my self confidence in magic, my magic and so my life style. So i stopped either practicing or performing my art and that was basically healthy, just because it made me understand how much important magic was for me; It is my own escape, my own moment to create something and it tells me you can do something you can succeed on something; The best lesson magic gave and gives to me is: no matter how impossible or hard something is, by practicing continuesly wanting ,or even wishing it, you'll get it. Im telling all this because i've been very surprised to hear something so similar to my experience (ofc of what I had the opportunity to listen to).
But you are one of the best juggling-tutor-videographers I could possible imagine. Juggling has multi-dimensional effects on people (I know so now) and, along with it, so do you by teaching people how to juggle. You have taught me 3 and 4 balls, 3 clubs, the 5 now needs some more patience and practice and dwell time in my brain. Keep up your high standards.
Thanks... I'm a P.E. Teacher at an Alternative Private school and many of my students deal with disorders and unique issues. I have my students watch this video.
Thanks for putting yourself out there. Love your videos.
I'm really late to this video, but I just recently decided I wanted to learn to juggle and this video was seriously inspiring. Literally brought tears to my eyes. I've struggled with these same problems in my life and this video was extremely moving. Keep up all your hard work. Your content is amazing
Thanks for being vulnerable in this
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing it.
I totally love your tutorials, they make something super hard into little steps that are manageable. It makes so much sense to teach it like that but I've never seen anyone else do that, at least not as clearly and as fun as yours.
I can really relate to the mental health side and why it's been helpful. I have two jobs and a kid, and can sometimes feel overwhelmed. spending a bit of time most days juggling is grounding, fun, feels like I'm getting good at something. puts a bit of joy in my day. oddly makes me feel like I can dance more too haha, feel like I just get more comfortable.
So thanks so much for sharing this, and for all your videos. Really has made a difference for me and I'm sure lots of others too
This is exactly the reason I started Juggling also☝️Your honesty, energy and talent are an inspiration. Thanks 🙏
When I feel down it always helps me to go outside and juggle in nature (and film it for my UA-cam channel).
I find this video inspirational because it relates directly to me too. I learnt how to juggle three balls at a youth discovery camp when I was 19 and then I stopped. I stopped because of what Taylor was saying. I felt like I would never be as good as some of the other jugglers and I used to watch people juggling 4,5 and 6 balls and that is how I felt. I am not good enough. Then when covid hit 2 years ago I needed something to keep me active and sane since my gym was closed so I got out the juggling balls again. I started every day with 2 hours of juggling and over time I got better and better. But more than that, it fueled my confidence and made me feel good. Pretty soon I was up to juggling 5 balls. This was something that I never thought that I would be able to do and watching people like Taylor showed me that it was possible. So now I am working on 6, something I thought I would never do. Thanks Taylor :-)
Thank you for sharing this, Taylor.
Thank you for being honest and vulnerable.
Thank you for showing others who may be suffering in silence and isolation that they are not alone and that there is hope.
Thank you.
I started juggling four years ago at the age of 60 because I had heard that neuroplasticity had revolutionized the treatment of stroke victims. Even though I have not had a stroke I wanted to know if I could rewire my brain from that of a non-juggler's brain to a juggler's brain, and the answer is, I could. I also learnt a valuable less about life, and that is, that failure is a necessary pathway to success. You can't succeed a juggling unless you allow yourself to fail at it first. I also appreciate the mindfulness of juggling and the potential for achieving a state of flow if you really get into it.
I loved this video! Ive seen a few tutorials but had no idea you were that good of a juggler. Those pins look fun.
I dont know if im depressed but im alone all day everyday and when i get burnt out on work i can become overwhelmingly bored and lonely. Ive taken up gymnastics - and im obsessed right now but being middle aged i can only work out on my rings effectively a few hours a week. I find juggling to be the perfect companion hobby. It keeps your mind connected to your body and builds your wrist/hand/finger dexterity. Plus its so fun!! Im a beginner but i can easily spend an hour or two juggling without even noticing the time.
Thanks for making this video! Im going to order some pins right now!
This is where im at in life right now. Depressed hardly any friends so i just started to juggle to fill in some time been going for a couple weeks complete newby but slowly learning and its something different that i can do by myself . Thanks for your videos
❤❤❤❤HERE'S A BIG HUG, AND A BIG THANK YOU FOR YOUR OPEN AND HEART SENT VIDEO BIO.❤❤❤❤I too began juggling(in my case, my teens)and stopped for several years. Now as an Army veteran suffering from PTSD,I do what I can to help myself(I'm into Yoga,now.It works!)Juggling Is slowly coming back into my life. Bobby May (R.I.P.) is my favorite juggler of all time. Continue sharing, and please remember, YOU ARE LOVED!❤❤❤😊👍
I juggle too! I use it as therapy as well, it centers me ❤
I come back to this video often because I love that I can relate to so much of what you're saying. You just, get it. Juggling is such a blessing and has brought so much joy into my life. Thank you for sharing your journey and for all the ways that you've helped me on mine. You're "how to juggle 3 balls" video is what got me started 3 years ago, and I haven't gone a day without juggling since! You're amazing, @taylortries 🥰
I'm enjoying your channel very much. I've found it hard to juggle if you're stressed. It forces you to relax to be able to do it. It's great to see you've found your passion. Keep up the good work, and positive videos.
Such an inspiration I swear... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR!!!
Hi Taylor! Thanks for sharing this. I will be including a link to it in my next juggling club newsletter. . . So many good reasons to keep on picking up. We all hit a place where we struggle. Thanks for the encouragement!
My older cousin in Melbourne is an awesome juggler like you ...into the whole circus art thing. For years we'd hang out in the parks in Mellbs with him and his friends when I 'd go and visit, and I'd watch him juggle. Then one day I thought I 'd have a go to and he taught me some stuff, and I got better when I was going through depression a few years later as I found it a great way to refocus my ruminating mind. Then I got a full on job and had a falling out with my cuz, so the juggling fell by the wayside for around 5 years. I have been overseas in the UAE for the last 2 years working, did not take any balls and could not buy any over here. A few weeks ago I was in a pharmacy and there were these stress balls being sold at the counter, turns out they were great for juggling... so I'm all of a sudden back into it!! Eeen quite stressed in my job and at times depressed even and it's definately helping again! Really keen to get it to an internediate level now and your tuts are the best I could find on UA-cam.... Great to here your story and watch your awesome style. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Taylor ! You are an amazing teacher. With COVID and everything you are the rock that keeps me sane right now.
I've been juggling for years and you're way better than I am. I'd be well pleased if I could juggle like you. I stopped for about 15 years but recently bought a set of balls that I leave on my kitchen table and a try to pick them up at least once a day. It is very therapeutic 😊👍
The true story of the ugly duckling. (Please don't take that the wrong way, it's a compliment) thank you for sharing your story! I have bad depression as well from being wounded in Iraq and doing wood work is my way to cope. Good for you in finding a solution!
You're so good at juggling Miss Taylor Glenn. I've learned a lot thru you. I feel you. I feel better when I am Juggling. Love from Philippines.
When I'm with my little niece I show her your IG and she feels inpowered knowing a girl can do what you do. Keep up the great work! Ps love the smirks and the winks and now your honestly hehe :l
Aww Taylor this made me cry! I started juggling 60 days ago. 5 minutes a day. And yes, it's helped my anxiety a ton! I was able to get out of my head and do something that is truly in the flow state and mindfulness!!! You've been an inspiration to me. Thank you.
Wow! This was so good.
Your best video yet!! Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for this video, Taylor. I'm glad juggling helps you. I am getting back into juggling as a way to regulate myself as a therapist, and as day to day human. Your videos are really inspiring me. Thanks again.
I just started getting back into it (at 36). I learned with bean bags in the projection booth of a movie theater while working there. I've only ever been a casual juggler but decided (because of quarantine lol) I really want to improve. Busted the balls and clubs out last week while my daughter was playing outside.
I love the idea of videoing them, and might start doing that. I also am promising myself to juggle every day. So glad I discovered you last week when I was looking up some beginner tricks to work on. Keep up the good work! (Sorry this ended up being more long winded than I anticipated heh)
This is perfect it’s one of the reasons I’m learning(no matter how slowly) I discovered knitting a couple years back and use it the same way
i really loved the video... i also suffer from depression, i used to not believe in myself but after 12yrs of juggling i believe because i can see... it helped me also beat heavy drug addiction in my life and i see why now because my body and mind grow everytime i pick up my props.. the feeling of owning and installing into your body is the best high... if you ever come to australia make sure you come to melbourne juggling convention or spin-fest... your a true inspration .
Watched this because of your Jedi video! Very inspirational!
You have great stage presence. I think your juggling videos are awesome.
Taylor a trick i learned from you is throwing clubs with elbows in. thank you very much. i keep getting way better and everytime i think about this skill it came from a video you made some time ago. you're awesome.
I started to juggle 2 years ago when I was 30 years old. I myself also dealing with depression. My therapist recommended me to find new hobby or new thing to learn, so I picked juggling because I always wanted to learn that and skill toys(kendama, yoyo, begleri) is one of my past times hobby. It took 2 weeks for me to master simple 3 ball cascades coz I have health issues (double vision and heart problem) but I did it. I didn’t expect juggling can be very tiring but really fun. I know I’m slow in progress compare others but juggling do kinda help me distracting me, my mind from all the pain. My wish now to master 3 club juggling and all other 3 ball pattern juggling. Juggling is addictive. Oh yeah, I found your instagram and you really inspire me with your skill. Today I just found out you have youtube channel and I subscribe immediately.
You are just awesome and inspirational.
Recently I was very sick and then ran into Josh Horton on UA-cam Jenna Caleb Chris Mia and now you I’m not very sure why God has put all of you in my life but you’re inspiring and you give Hope all of you guys do I don’t know how well you know them all But you guys seem to have a handle on life and I’m gonna continue to watch because you guys are all truly amazing people and motivating
Ur awesome Taylor. It helps mine too. I started when I was 20. Keep up the good stuff
Man, very relatable story. Went through a similar progression myself
You are awesome Taylor!! Thanks for all the great video’s. -Eric
I love your videos really helped me become better a juggling I learned to juggle when I was 10 then stoped for 16 years and have picked up from where I left off. never compare yourself with others for there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Dang super inspiring thanks for putting this out there. Juggling really does help the mind in positive ways
Wow. Incredibly uplifting. Thanks for sharing Taylor :)
I am not into juggling,
But I see ur videos bcoz u have such a positive vibe.
Literally u can be a great speaker.
Good luck.
Found your channel yesterday and love it! But this video is pure power! Really spoke to me and I am 1000% many can relate to the message as well👍 much respect for your juggeling skills, and even more respect to you for creating and putting out this video!
you can get better, you make me want to juggle, and your one of my favorite jugglers,
Hi Taylor, I Like your honest style, and your proper and serious way of your tuturials.
Juggling is so addictive once I got a set of balls as Christmas stocking gift and I never stopped 🤣 the possibilities are endless 🤙🏻
4:00 This moment moved me. You are so real and sensitive 😌. I relate to your story; I grab my speaker and go downtown to juggle every f*ckin' day! It's weird to say but my life changed for the better since I juggle. If you don't know what to do in your life and you feel lost in the sauce, but you know 1 thing that you like, just do it. Thank you Taylor for this video, maybe one day our paths will cross and we'll share some tricks together 😉
So happy to see you overcoming your struggles, keep up the good works! You’re not alone
Your "why" for juggling is my "why" for building cars, making things out of metal, designing electronics.. It's why I "make".. I don't have a lot of friends either, and never really have. Making, designing, engineering, keeps my mind off of idling and giving myself time to think about stuff that aids depression. It keeps me thinking, learning, and seeing my improvements over time and seeing new things to do with my skills is what keeps me wondering, problem solving, and in my own little world. It's not as cool as juggling, but it does the trick. Thank you for sharing, seriously. I appreciate your realness and courage to share this. You're an amazing person!!!
I've been following you since i first saw your videos on juggling.tv when you were still an awkward silly teenager. I've been inspired in my own juggling by things i've seen you do, and i was so glad to see your channel come back to life on youtube after such a long hiatus. Now i find myself inspired by you again, but in a much broader arena - my mental health, and life itself. You're clearly an amazing person, so keep doing what you do and if we ever happen to meet, beers are on me :)
You rule Taylor! I love your IG and you inspire me to keep practicing my juggling! 😊
This video helps me depression. Thank you.
Very motivational. I just did a one month challenge and I failed at some of it. My challenge was to level up in three languages and to be able to juggle 4 balls. Guess what, I can't juggle 4 balls (yet)!! but am getting stronger at 3 balls and adding a few tricks here and there. One of my language goals was to post a video of me speaking Polish for 5 minutes. I did that yesterday and got such good feedback from native Polish speakers that it made all that practising worthwhile.
I'm going to carry on with my juggling practise, especially having seen this video. Thank you.
Same here i cant yet jugle 4 balls but im improving 3 ..... and i can do tenis with 3 balks but sometimes i have problem when i throw with my left hand......i doo columns....i can juggle with 1 hand right and left but with the right hand i feel much more confidient....today i start working on 3 ball box patern.....
For me you are an awesome person. I love your naturalness, happiness, female power, ambition and your love for juggling.
You taught me how to juggle on the beginner tutorial for clubs and balls and it worked great! Thank you a lot for all of your videos!
I enjoy watching them. I also understand you very well with what you said in this video. For me it is like..I never could stand a job in front of the computer in an office where I sit inside all day. That makes me sick and crazy over time. That's why I taught myself acrobatics and, with your help, how to juggle. Thats what I am good at and I love the training and getting better every day a little bit. I wish you all the best!
Roxane
This is a great video, love your honesty & encouraging message. Just found out about you through Josh Horton's editors video that features you. I also see you are sponsored by juggling warehouse & where have you been all my life?? You should make a colab with Josh, the two of you could make a off the chain video! Great channel, keep making content!
This is the exact thing I needed to here at this exact moment of my life. Thank you.
You're so awesome Taylor, thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing this with us! You're an inspiration to all of us 💖💖
Just saw this and it made me cry. I can totally relate. Thanks for being open about your depression and how you work through it
Thank you Taylor for sharing. Inspiring video. I have come back to juggling as I have some issues and this (along with Tai Chi and music) is so therapeutic. Your videos are helping me to go from basic 3 ball to working on 4 ball and some simple tricks. You are a great juggler and a great communicator, I am sure many many people have been helped by your videos. ❤
This was touching and resonated on a lot of levels. Thank you for sharing it and everything else you make it is a steady stream of inspiration and being reminded that even the amazingly talented among us fight the same insecurities is really reaffirming.
Thank you for sharing this Taylor! I struggle with a lot of this kind of stuff too
Quite an inspiration for us all. Thank you, Taylor.
So glad you chose to follow the path you did. I would not be juggling if not for you and I'm sure many other followers feel the same. When you're feeling a little down, think of all of us you're inspiring. Time to juggle.
Well I've just started out with 3 balls and certainly do suck,so there's hope for me.
I struggle with depression too and so it's good not to feel alone.
Thanks for this.
great post, love to see you juggle, makes me smile. Juggling for me is like meditating and to relax. Keep filming your juggling & keep strong
Gorgeous. Thank you, Taylor!
What a delight you are! Congratulations on your win. Your struggle to juggle against so much gravity is inspirational. Thank you for sharing your gifts and story.
Thanks for sharing Taylor. Neat view on juggling. You rock!
Wonderful video, Taylor. Thank you for sharing your story and showing how juggling helps you :)
You are amazing! Don’t forget it! You have taught me almost everything I know about juggling and have given me something to focus on when graduate school is really getting to me and I feel like I can’t do anything well.
Thank you for giving me an incredible coping tool!
You have juggled with our emotions throughout this video-log. Haven't missed a bit! Thank you!
